What is an Au-some Evening?
An Au-some Evening is a specially designed, sensory-friendly event where children with autism spectrum disorder and other sensory sensitivities, and their families, can explore the museum in a calm, supportive environment. We turn down the noise, dim the lights, and open our doors so every child can play, explore, and thrive at their own pace.
What's Different at Au-some Evenings?
To create a more comfortable experience, the following exhibit elements will be powered down or modified:
Auto Shop Car Elements

Our Quiet Cove will remain unlocked as a calm retreat space throughout the event
